But they had Taylor Swift in it, isn't she like the biggest star ever or something? What happened?

Why Amsterdam Bombed At The Box Office

"Amsterdam" is a 2022 American period comedy thriller by creative mind David O. Russel, whose credits also include "Silver Linings Playbook" and "American Hustle." The cast of "Amsterdam" features more name recognition than most Marvel projects, with the roster including Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldaña, Mike Meyers, Michael Shannon, Timothy Olyphant, Taylor Swift, Rami Malek, and Robert DeNiro. These are the kind of names that often helm franchises all on their lonesome, so to see them all in the same film is truly a spectacle. Further, cramming them all into a movie created by a notably successful director? That should be a recipe for movie magic.

And yet "Amsterdam" tanked ... HARD. As shared by Variety, it placed third in its opening weekend box office behind "Smile" — which was released a week prior — and "Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile." As of this writing, "Amsterdam" has failed to make back even a tenth of its 80 million dollar budget. For all involved, that number is nothing short of embarrassing. The question is, then, what happened here? Why did "Amsterdam" bomb so spectacularly? Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any mystery here: the answers (yes, there are more reasons than one) are tragically straightforward.
